Description

Crass took anarchy seriously. Where the Sex Pistols revelled in alcohol and general abuse, Crass injected a little ecology into their chaotic punk. Moving on from their first performances (featuring a snare drum and one microphone), this collection of songs became athems of punk pacafism.Proving too dark and subversive for the sensors, the first track, Reality Asylum, was cut from the original 12 inch. A seven minute silence replaced the original piece and was re-named Free Speech. The track has now been re-instated and remains a monumental effort to teenage angst and turmoil in a world of paradoxmore….The next track, Banned From the Roxy (ok!), carried on the theme of exclusion and isolation as London's world of Punk gig-halls also rejected their own. Carss complained bitterly; 'Do they think guitars and microphones are just fuking toys? Fuck them...'Sure, their message was Crass, yet also serious. Taking the pop-world-anarchism of the 1977 into a new era of thoughtful politics, Crass peformed beneath the banners of both pubensent rejection and CND. The kings Road soon became full of bondanged youth sporting peace symbols next to buttons of Sid Vicious. Through 'The Feeding of the Five Thousand', permitted the punk youth to embrace a more alternative frame of thinking as they rejcted, through music, the generation of glamm rock, Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
